Call-ups will be made in less than 30 minutes. Realistically we should be looking at six points. Anything less, kiss this campaign adios.
Notable players who will not get called-up: Osman Chavez y Edgar Alvarez both out with injury. Being without El Tierno Chavez has shown to be a big blow over the last two Qualifiers. I hope for a speedy recovery Osman.

I am thinking that he will play with the following lineup. Valladares Sabillon Osman Muma Figueroa Wilson Espinoza Boniek Izaguirre Mario and Bengston
Wilmer Fuentes y Mauricio Sabillon??? WTF Robbie Norales??? WTF Why didn't he call-up Wilmer Crisanto but called-up Jose Velasquez.. this makes no sense.
I don't think Osman will play... he suffered a muscular injury like last week.. hasn't played any game for Wisla.. makes no sense
what we will see first game in Cuba: --------------------------Noel------------------------- El Caracol-----Velasquez----Muma---Maynor ----------------El Mago------El Pitbull----------- Boniek-------------------------------------Izzy -----------------RoRo---------Bengtson--------- Sabillon sucks.. all of Marathon sucks.. ffs they've won like one game out of six. El Caracol HAS TO START.. the funny thing is Arnold isn't even a rightback.. he plays holding midfield for Los Cocoteros. Wilmer Crisanto wouldn't have been able to play this game due to his red card against Brazil either.. but he's still 10000x better than Sabillon and on top of that Victoria is in first place in La Liga Nacional. Vida is in the top 4.. Marathon isnt.. easy choice of Arnold, unfortunately Suarez might not see it that way. Espinoza will not play due to his red card against Brazil.. his replacement is between Edder and Claros.. I just flipped a coin and went with Claros.. Most likely Edder, even though Real Espana have also been in an awful slump and Claros has been bossing with Hibs. Fuentes sucks.. Marathon sucks... sooooo he will see a whole lotta bench. Izzy and Boniek seems like the most logical choice, even though Chavez has more assists than the both of them combine. Chavez is in the running for top assist man of the league and his speed will be useful.. dude has been lights out. Izzy has looked good aswell, but if we're going off final ball, Marvin is flat out better even though Izzy has more dimensions to his game. I'll wait till Izzy finally gets into the swings of things to name him a flat out starter. Boniek is the most sufficient and effective midfielder we have.. In very little time he's made his presence felt with Houston, and his assist this past weekend just shows how much quality this man has.. Marvin and Boniek make it happen. Velasquez and Muma in the back.. Osman hasn't play thus far this season for Wisla.. came out early in a game due to a muscular injury and hasn't seen the field since, nor suited up. I don't see how he can play for us if he can't even play for Wisla.. he's going to be a game time decision, but i don't think he will be ready in time.. lol actually his full 90 againt Boca is what made his injury worse because he was playing injured THE ENTIRE GAME! lel Uptop.. you've got to be fuggin kiddin me.. if you thought ONE Motagua forward was bad enough, we now have TWO!!!.. Georgie Welcome and Robbie Norales.. LMAO they both aren't good.. Georgie hasn't scored since the week before last.. how is he still getting called-up.. he's a poor mans Costly.. and thats a Costly of now, not 7 goal in Qualifiers Costly.. and the now Costly is not even half way decent anymore. Robbie is young, he's 21 and has only scored ONE GOAL.. and that was on Sunday against Sociedad, in which they lost.. One goal is not enough to warrant a call-up ffs. On the bright side, the league leader in goal scored among Hondurans, RoRo, got called-up and was much deserved..while Jerry Bengtson who scored over the weekend also got the nod. Honestly.. should've called up Glen Mitchel Brown, Shannon Welcome, or Victor Ortiz. But not Robi y El Avatar Welcome. Other than that.. everything else is fine.. Wilson and Maynor get the nod.. Maynor with a GOLAZO today.. dude is sucha beast.
Wilmer Fuentes ruled out of the game against Cuba with a fractured arm.. dude took one helluva fall today in Sao Pedro Sula.
The starting XI that was practicing yesterday: Noel; Arnold Peralta, Muma, Maynor, Juan Carlos Garcia; Boniek, Palacios, Edder, Izaguirre; Bengtson y Welcome
Our Official line-up vs. Cuba: ---------------------------------Noel Valladares--------------------------- Arnold Peralta----------Muma--------------Figueroa------------Juan Carlos Garcia -------------------Wilson Palacios-------------El Camello Delgado-------------- Oscar Boniek Garcia-------------------------------------------------Emilio Izaguirre -----------------------------Bengtson--------El Avatar Welcome----------------

Predicted Line-up for tomorrow: ---------------------------------Noel Valladares--------------------------- El Olimpico Sabillon------Muma--------------Figueroa---------Emilio Izaguirre -------------------Wilson Palacios-------------El Indio Lempira Espinoza-------------- Oscar Boniek Garcia-------------------------------------------------El Hijo de Viento Chavez -----------------------------Bengtson--------El Avatar Welcome---------------- 4 changes to the squad that won in Havana on Friday... Arnold Peralta will start the game from the bench as Mauricio Sabillon will hope to live up to his nickname tonight as the starting rightback. Juan Carlos Garcia who came off with an injury in Havana fully recovered, but will be replaced by Izzy who returns to his normal position. While Marvin Chavez who has been on FIRE!!!! will fill the void on the left wing from Izzy. Marvin with his pace and beautiful crossing and long shooting will look to continue to where he left off in Havana with his goal in injury time on Friday. and Finally!! Roger Espinoza returns to the starting line-up after serving his one match suspension in Havana. He will pair up with Wilson Palacios in the midfield and will hope to continue to carry his strong form from the Olympic onto World Cup Qualifying.
